This article examines multiple crime type victimisation where some households or persons are victims of more than one kind of offence in a given period of time. Data from the 1992 British Crime Survey formed the basis for the study. The authors found two significant findings from the study. One finding was that there is a significant and positive association between the possibility of becoming both a victim of property crime and a victim of personal crime. It is suggested that multiple victimisation may particularly occur amongst those suffering socio-economic disadvantage. The second significant finding was that prior victimisation experience appears to affect the risk of present victimisation across crime types. The authors suggest that future research should focus on the longitudinal development of victimisation, in the context of other events in the victim's life.
